BRUNSWICK, GA - Former Appling County Sheriff’s Deputy Richard W. Crosby, 35, pleaded guilty Friday, June 10, in United States District Court to the offense of being an accessory after the fact to a drug crime. Appearing before Chief Judge Lisa Godbey Wood in Brunswick, Crosby admitted that he had warned a drug suspect that a search warrant was to be executed at the suspect’s Appling County residence on January 20, 2011. Crosby learned of the search warrant during a briefing given by a drug task force agent at the Sheriff’s Office on January 19, 2011. Crosby then relayed this information to a third party with instructions to warn the resident about the pending execution of the warrant. This disclosure was made in order to hinder the apprehension of the drug suspect.
